unintentional weight loss

Hello. I am a seventeen-year-old girl and have lost weight unintentionally. I don't exactly know in what a time period it happened, because I don't weigh myself regularly, but I'm pretty sure that about a year ago, I was 50 kilos, and now I'm only around 47. I am 161 cm of height. I go to grammar school and this past year has indeed been particulary stressful, causing me to worry a lot as well as eat rather little. But could just that really be the reason behind such a weight loss? I went to see a doctor about it, and he ran some blood tests (thyroid included), everything came out "perfect", as he said. He also examined me briefly and concluded by saying that he doesn't think there's anything serious going on and sent me home. But I can't get rid of the anxious feeling that there's something wrong with me, and I don't know what else I can do. On some sites and forums they say it's probably nothing, and on some they are practically diagnosing me with cancer. This freaks me out. Please help and share your opinion/experiences. Thank you.
